The IFM O6P301 is a polarisation-filter retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with a 0.05...5 m sensing range. It uses red 633 nm light and a PNP output with selectable light-on and dark-on modes. The sensor supports a 1000 Hz switching frequency for high-speed object detection. Stainless-steel 316L construction and IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K protection support harsh environments. A 0.3 m PVC cable with M12 connector provides the electrical connection.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The O6P301 uses a reflector-based optical arrangement. Its polarisation filter helps distinguish the reflector return from ordinary reflective surfaces. The sensing range reaches 5 m with the specified prismatic reflector. A 150 mm light spot is specified at the maximum range. This provides reliable object interruption detection.
The sensor provides a 1000 Hz switching frequency. This enables reliable detection of fast-moving products. Its PNP output can switch up to 100 mA. Light-on and dark-on modes are selectable. This makes the sensor suitable for fast conveyor and packaging applications.
The O6P301 uses stainless-steel 316L housing and PPSU plastic components. Protection ratings extend through IP65, IP67, IP68, and IP69K. The sensor operates from -25...80 °C. These features support wet, washdown, and demanding industrial environments.

The 1000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed product detection. The polarisation filter improves reliability with the specified reflector. The sensor can therefore monitor rapidly moving products on conveyors. PNP output provides direct switching information. This makes the O6P301 suitable for high-speed automation.
